Psychotic Disorders

NewYork-Presbyterian, in collaboration with our medical colleges, has made major inroads into the understanding and treatment of psychotic disorders with a particular expertise in first episode and multi-episode treatment of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. We are committed to helping mentally ill adults achieve stable, productive, community lives by eliminating the isolation of serious mental illness. We work to engage patients and develop medication protocols that can be tolerated and adhered to. We work together in a team-based model to establish and restore social networks and maintain patients in their work and school activities, fostering the ability to live independently. All patients have access to comprehensive inpatient and outpatient levels of care. Our faculty are recognized worldwide as leaders in research in brain imaging and biomarkers of psychotic disorders. We treat complex, comorbid patients in a recovery-oriented and culturally sensitive setting.
